Current holder of three American records and winner of 28 medals (14 gold) in major international competition, elite swimmer Jessica Hardy isn't afraid to push the boundaries. With her sights set on international competition this summer, Jessica discusses her workouts outside the pool that can help you improve as a runner.
Q: What does a typical training week look like for you?
A: During training season, I currently swim six days a week, for two to three hours a day. In the offseason, I run once or twice a week, lift weights three times a week and do Pilates once a week religiously. If I have time, I will squeeze in some yoga and try to mix up my cross training with new exercises like boxing, spinning, etc. Swimming has been a constant throughout my life, but changing up my cross-training has helped keep training challenging and interesting!
Q: What is your "go-to" core workout?*
- With your feet in a suspension trainer, hold onto an upside down exercise ball and bicycle curl your legs into your belly button
- Rope climb an invisible rope while lying on the ground, lifting your hands one at a time toward the sky
- Tap a medicine ball on each side of you while sitting on the ground, keeping your feet off the ground in front of you
- In a sitting position with your feet off the ground, extend your upper body straight off the ground, then crunch up to touch your toes
- Laying on your back, lift your feet straight up in the air using your lower abs
- Laying on an exercise ball, place your feet against the wall and keep one leg in the air, while doing crunches
- Leg V sit-ups while sitting on a exercise ball
- Bicycle crunches one leg at a time on the ground
Q: What are your recommended tips for chasing your fitness goals?
A: Take one day at a time, one workout at a time, one rep at a time, one movement at a time. Living in the moment relieves you from being overwhelmed by a workout, reduces stress/anxiety and allows you to be more engaged in what you're doing. I also like to set two different types of goals: a short-term goal that is attainable within the month, and a long-term goal that I'd like to achieve by the end of a year (or four years in my case). For me, I keep focus on my husband, my dog and going to the beach – I soak up that energy and rely on those things to keep me positive. It helps me be stronger when I'm back in the pool.
Q: How do you recover after workouts, and why is it key to your performance?
A: I've learned a lot throughout my career – recovery, nutrition and taking care of my body is so important. Being one of the oldest in my sport, recovery is key so lowfat chocolate milk is my go-to because it helps my body rebound quickly. I might not feel the effect of chocolate milk when I drink it, but I sure feel it if I don't have it! I will freak out if I don't have it at a race. I make sure to drink it within 20 minutes after tough workouts to help replace fluids and electrolytes that are lost in sweat, build lean-muscle and refuel exhausted muscles. The protein also helps to repair the damage done to your muscles. I also try to keep a clean nutritional plan, with lots of veggies, chicken and fish. Foam rolling, massage, cryotherapy (or ice baths) are also some tools I use to help keep me prepared for the next workout!

*Core workouts are a key complement to running. A strong core increases running efficiency and speed, while maintaining a healthy support system for your heart and lungs to prevent injuries.

NEW CORONER: Dellinger settling in his position
COLUMBIA CITY — Whitley County's new coroner will get to spend his retirement doing what he loves. Randy Dellinger, who was elected in November as county coroner, has been interested in crime scene investigation for many years. The passion was born from 28 years as a law enforcement officer, it was nurtured during his eight years as deputy coroner under Scott Smith and grew while taking a crime scene investigation class at the Indiana State Police Academy."It was meaningful work and I liked it," Dellinger said.After 24 years as a Whitley County Sheriff Deputy, Dellinger retired Dec. 31, 2012. Anticipating his retirement and seeing the office come open, were the factors that inspired him to run for the coroner position."I was hoping to do things I like to do and do meaningful investigations," he said.One goal Dellinger has in office is organizing coroner records and making them accessible for whoever does the job."It is my intent when I am done with a case the records should be stored at the county facility," he said. "That is where they should be. It is a government facility and they are government records."Dellinger has a strong belief for this because of difficulties he has had pursuing records from coroners. Many coroners in and out of the county have kept their offices in their homes or at a business. When they would leave office, the records would often leave with them."It could be a situation where the coroner died, but his wife is still alive, so you have to find her," Dellinger said. "Or there was a case once where the records were stored in a basement. The basement flooded and the records were destroyed."Thus, Dellinger will not only try to store records from his time in office, but he also wishes to obtain what he can from former coroners."You just never know when somebody is going to want to know something," he said. "I want to preserve and maintain our records in the best way we can."For now, Dellinger has spent his first few weeks settling into the new position. He has made a few courtesy calls, and has been setting up his office, which is now in the basement of the sheriff's department. He has been married to his wife, Debra, for 32 years and has four children and 10 grandchildren, who all live in the area. If that were not enough to make him feel at home, Dellinger is reporting to work each day at the same building that he spent so much time at as a deputy sheriff."I know everybody I see," he laughed.Going forward, the new coroner cannot foresee every challenge that will come his way. There will be investigations during his time in office that he cannot envision at present, but he has a clear idea of how he wants to spend his term as coroner."My primary goal is to do a complete and thorough investigation," he said. "I want to treat everyone with respect. Hopefully the people I work with are satisfied with the services. In the end, with forensic investigations, we are searching for the truth. My goal is to give the truth as best as we can know it."

Hi there!
I just signed up for the 500 yesterday, and I am excited about trying out the weekly contest! I have been away from writing for a bit and I feel rusty so this seems like a good place to try out my pencil!
Thank you for the opportunity to get myself back into the fold again. I have been a lost lamb, so I'm blessed to be led back into a Christian flock!

STATE — The Judiciary has expanded its electronic filing system, JEFIS, to include foreclosure cases in order to accommodate a 200 percent increase in foreclosure filings since 2005, Chief Justice Stuart Rabner announced Thursday.
"Electronic filing provides a technological solution for our growing caseloads, and right now, foreclosures are one of our fastest growing case types. As resources allow, we will continue to seek solutions through technology to ensure high quality service to the public," Rabner said.
Since 2000, JEFIS has been used statewide to file and store certain types of special civil cases. Those cases, sometimes called "DC-docket-type" cases, are civil cases involving amounts of $15,000 or less. Nearly 4 million DC-docket-type cases have been filed using JEFIS since it was introduced.
"Those involved in foreclosure disputes come to the court seeking a just and efficient resolution of their case. JEFIS-Foreclosure will enable us to rise to the challenge of handling the high volume of work we face in this time of economic crisis," said Judge Glenn A. Grant, acting administrative director of the courts.
JEFIS offers significant benefits to attorneys, litigants, the public, judges and staff. Attorneys who register to use JEFIS can view the contents of their case jackets from their office. Moreover, the JEFIS application allows attorneys to view their daily balances in their collateral account with the Judiciary, from which attorneys pay court fees. Registered JEFIS attorneys also have the ability to access the court's Automated Case Management System (ACMS) database online for calendar and case inquiries.
Through JEFIS, multiple users will have instant and simultaneous access to electronic case jackets, including all filed documents, from any computer with JEFIS access. For example, a judge may be reviewing a foreclosure file at the same time it is being viewed at a public access terminal in a county courthouse and being reviewed by staff in the Superior Court Clerk's Office in Trenton. Files can be supplemented when the need arises without having to transfer the case jacket to different offices or buildings.
The JEFIS application also allows court notices to be sent to attorneys electronically, including notices of deficient filings, thereby reducing costs and staff time to print and mail out papers, as well as expediting communication between the court and attorneys.
Members of the public can visit their local courthouse to view JEFIS cases filed anywhere in the state. This enhancement eliminates the need to drive to Trenton to review foreclosure files or to drive from one county courthouse to another to view cases filed in another county.
JEFIS also will help the Judiciary resolve the increased volume of foreclosure matters without increasing staff. The application improves timeliness and accuracy of data entry. It also will reduce the need for storage space. For example, foreclosure files from 2006 to June of 2009 occupy 3,700 square feet of space in the Superior Court Clerk's Office.

I do understand what you are saying about not being able not to hear much of her music anymore. If anything, the show can at least sound great.
I'm hoping that the score is composed by her though, since they only announced that she's only doing the composition for the Theme, though I can't think of any reason of Kawamori not getting her fully on board here.

Also Tomino being somwhat retired is hardly a factor since she only worked with him twice (and she didn't seem so thrilled with it during BrainPowerd). She's worked with Kawamori about 5 times though... and Shinichiro Watanabe is the other big name she's collabrated with a lot.. only for 2 different series and a movie spinoff.. but I'll think most people would say Macross Plus & Bebop were more important to her career by far than BrainPowerd and Turn....
She only seems to work on 1 project per year really... I'm hoping she's attached to this show since what else would she be working on this year...

Tomino ... retired?
And yeah, I do hope she is doing something this year, even if it is this show. I really want another score from her.
As for Darker than Black, I think it had to do with the placement in the show why the score sounded so weak from typical Yoko Kanno ones. Standalone its actually pretty good.

Not officially but like Kaoishin said he seems to have called it a career.. he might as well be at this stage...
As for DtB I personally didn't like the OST that was released, the clear standout BGM I heard in the show itself wasn't even on the OST which was nuts...

Yay, Sousei no Aquarion (the song)'s back!!!
Ichi man nen to ni sen nen mae kara aishiteru~ :3
My first encounter with Aquarion was SRW Z, and that song and Solar Aquarion's design made me fall in love with it. The pilots, well not so much but I lol when Apollo did Ranka's "Kira!" on SRW Z2 when Ranka sung XD
Haven't watched the original series yet though I've watched the 2 OVAs. But definitely gonna watch EVOL. And I've already pre-ordered Super Robot Chogokin Solar Aquarion. Can't wait till that awesome thing got released on end of this year :3

I may well be the only person in the world that isn't a very big fan of that opening song for Aquarion. I've mostly only heard the Super Robot Wars Z version though, which just sounds awful and distorted to the point where I swapped it out with one of the original themes for the game.
The actual opening song I've heard a couple times and is much better, but not my favourite from Kanno by any stretch. Just a little too J-Pop for my tastes and anyone could probably predict that I'm not the worlds biggest J-Pop fan. My favorite Kanno opening is definitely still Escaflowne's and favorite ending is Blue from Cowboy Bebop.
Anyway it's funny cause I was just listening to a podcast from MAHQ where they were talking about Aquarion, but not in the context some might expect. It was a question to Chris about which show he liked less, Aquarion or Dragonaut and he said that he made it to about the 10th episode of Aquarion before giving up, but had to quit Dragonaut before the first volume was over much like me. Still, not exactly encouraging to hear the precursor mentioned in that context. I guess I should end up watching this for pure high end mecha action and animation and not expect too much from the story. Then again given the majority of Satelight's output I wouldn't expect to be doing anything more or less than just that.
Not trying to pick a fight here, but now that I think about it I've yet to a 26 episode TV series by Satelight manage to hold up a solid narrative all the way through. Of the ones I've seen Heat Guy J was incredibly forgettable (and not to mention the source of an in joke on ANN for being hyped up so much for it's R1 release and failing to even make back the cost of dubbing it), Macross Zero got really bizarre towards the end with the whole Bird Human thing, Glass no Kantai is like a really poor man's LOGH that barely holds up beyond the first volume (and has that signature Satelight weirdness to the characters), Kamichama Karin was dull even in the first episode, Kissdum was just a disastrous production from the get go, Macross Frontier dragged a ton with it's middle portion (to the point where I actually had to break from it for almost 2 years cause it started feeling more like a strange parody/updated version of SDF Macross as opposed to an actual fresh Macross franchise entry and because my time was occupied blogging Gundam 00 and Code Geass R2) but eventually pulled together for a solid finale, and lastly Basquash started great and then very quickly meandered it's own story into a corner. I also saw an episode of Croisée in a Foreign Labyrinth from this season and it didn't do much for me on the story and character front either, but looked okay.
Thus, at this point I don't really have any reason to expect much from them other than eye candy and a solid beginning/ending...I just hope that this doesn't suffer from the dropoff in that regard that Basquash and Macross F did because boy did those shows non-CG art assets just take a huge nose dive during their middle portions.

2010 Saturn Vue Values
Select a 2010 Saturn Vue trim level
2010 model year changes
The 2010 Saturn Vue is little changed from the previous year, with the most notable change being the elimination of the Red Line trims. The 4-cylinder engines have a bit more power this year, and a much anticipated 2-mode hybrid model, also known as the "Green Line", will be available once again for 2010.
Competitive comparison
Sharp, stylish interior and exterior; smooth ride; extensive cargo space; rated highly in government crash tests; hybrid powertrain available
Special features for 2010
The 2010 Saturn Vue is solidly in the small SUV category, alongside the Honda CR-V and the Toyota Rav-4. The base XE represents a particularly strong value with its wide range of standard features and economical engine. The Vue has a smooth, controlled ride and car-like handling, matched with an especially roomy interior that can accommodate five passengers and good towing ability for its size. Mileage for the front wheel drive trims is estimated at 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway, while mileage averages a bit less for all-wheel drive trims. The Vue Hybrid Green Line trim gets mileage estimated at 25 mpg city and 32 mpg highway.
A four-door SUV, the 2010 Saturn Vue comes with either a 4-cylinder or a V6 engine. The fuel economy is EPA-estimated to be the same as 2009's model with 19 mpg city/26 mpg highway for the 4-cylinder and 16 city/23 highway for the V6. Along with its 5-star front and side crash test ratings, the Vue has StabiliTrak, daytime running lights and front, side and curtain airbags. There are a handful of packages you can add to make this vehicle to fit the needs of the driver and passengers.

GONZALES —Louisiana and federal drug investigators arrested a former football player for the University of Missouri and the Arena Football League's New Orleans VooDoo after finding him in possession of $50,000 worth of hydroponic marijuana, the Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office disclosed Thursday.
Brian K. Coulter, 27, 802 Circle Drive, Baker, was booked Wednesday into the Ascension Parish Jail in Donaldsonville with possession with intent to distribute marijuana and illegal carrying of a weapon, deputies said in a news release.
Coulter remained in custody awaiting bond, deputies said.
Narcotics agents with the Ascension Sheriff's Office, Baton Rouge Police Department and federal Drug Enforcement Administration arrested Coulter in the parking lot of a Gonzales business, deputies said.
Agents seized eight pounds of marijuana and a 9 mm pistol from Coulter, deputies said. But deputies refused Thursday to identify the location of the arrest.
According to the VooDoo website, Coulter, a defensive end who had lettered at the University of Missouri in 2008 and 2009, was assigned to the New Orleans team in January 2012.
He spent most of the season on injured reserve, however, and, because his injuries prevented him from developing, his contract was not renewed in 2013, VooDoo officials said in a statement Thursday.
"Our hope is that Brian can get through this ordeal and get back to playing professional football somewhere. We wish him the best," VooDoo head coach Pat O'Hara said in the statement.
Baker Police Chief Mike Knaps, who said he has known Coulter since Coulter's teenage years, said Coulter has been recovering from a knee injury. Knaps said he was surprised to hear of Coulter's arrest.
"It just shocks me to tell you the truth. He is a fine kid. I'd never guessed it," Knaps said.
Earlier in his collegiate career, Coulter played football for Pearl River Community College in Poplarville, Miss., the VooDoo website says.
Anyone with information on illegal drug activity is asked to contact the Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office Narcotics Division by calling (225) 621-8350 or by texting 847411 to an anonymous tip line from any cellular device, or by calling Crime Stoppers at (225) 344-STOP (7867).

Ecoboost 1.0T Mpg & Ecomode Owner Results
Mathrin replied to JonnnyH's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubPersonally, since I switched to Shell petrol, I refuse to go back to supermarket stuff. ~I've seen a minimum 3mpg increase from the switch, and if I go for Vpower, its more like 8. Goes to show that a couple of extra pence is actually worth it.
Mathrin started following Spare Tyre For New Fords, Ecoboost 1.0T Mpg & Ecomode Owner Results, Accident Damage and and 7 others
Pretty much :) Authorised Repairers will do an Audatex report, auth if it's under 66% of total value of the car, invoice over a shell to the insurer and the claims support team will issue payment.
Depends how they died. Any blood drops in it make it Cat A due to biohazard to potential future ursers. and to confirm what was already said, CatC means it needs a VIC check done once its repaired for anti fraud measures and as a mini MOT. Any Vosa station can do it, takes about 30 minutes. If you retain a CatC total loss, you'll be issued the paperwork by the insurer, but expect to lose a large chunk for the TL payment that we'd get for scrapping the vehicle.
Heated Mist Jets
Mathrin replied to Jwsturner's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubIs there much benefit to mist nozzles as opposed to the standard jets I have on mine?
Lost Key
Mathrin replied to fnkymnky's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubBasically the car is insecure, any theft can be potentially repudiated by the insurer if they find out you've lost a key and not got a locks change. It does vary though - I know we removed the stipulation that in order to fund a lockset there would need to be identifying material on the keyring, as it's an unfair policy term, but some insurers to still stipulate this. As I've said with all claims questions prior - always let the insurer know the situation and take their advice on the matter. Record every call with them, take names, take numbers, take departments. We record all your calls as per requirements from the FSA so I encourage you to do the same with us. End of the day, insurers administer policies and should know them off by heart if they're a competent handler.
Pausing Cds
Mathrin replied to Kinghell's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubPerhaps its just the upgraded DAB radio, but when I press mute it pauses it.
Fiesta 1.4 Petrol Bad Mpg
Mathrin replied to haigboardman's topic in Ford Fiesta Club1.4 and I get 300-340 depending on the sort of driving I do. Mainly to and from work which is about 8 miles a day with the fasted road being a 50.
Follow Up On Stolen Car
Mathrin replied to Kentish Man's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubPurchase receipt is the big one on this. Proves all added extras you've got in there that they may be able to increase for. Unfortunately I'm on a week off at the moment, so couldn't tell you the ranges that GVA would give for a vehicle of that age til Monday at the earliest :/
Goodbye Fiesta Van
Mathrin replied to Paul_S's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubIf there's a structural damage it's deemed a Cat B "Beaker" there and then, cosmetically it can look fine.
Gear Change Ratios On Petrol Version
Mathrin replied to sparticus5's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubI must admit, I've found lower gearing far too close together. The speed that you need to shift 1st to 2nd to 3rd is too fast for me to do without over revving. I admit I'm trying to make a swift departure from the mark, but I'm not talking boy racer wheelspin here. I agree with the need for a 6th gear too, 3-3.5k in 5th doing 70 doesn't sound fantastic when driving :/
To be fair, It was my parents old car, Mother bought a new Fiesta, then I decided I wanted one too and part ex'd the corsa for the Fiesta. It was such a good move.
And to think, I drove around in a Corsa for months before getting my Fiesta...
Fiesta Rear Ended - Is It Likely To Be A Write Off?
Mathrin replied to Jeska48's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubIf it's a Helphire case, they'll likely have used Acorn Assessors to have a look at the vehicle for you, which basically gives a report saying over 66%, awaiting your instruction. Admiral are largely decent to work with, I've only ever had one problem with them one of of my total loss cases - a fiesta that they wrote off that I was adamant wasn't a write off. Otherwise they have been perfectly reasonable. Good job really seeing as I insure with them myself! As for "how many people does it take to sort a claim". You got it easy :P Insure with Marks & Spencer and you have to report it to them, to Minster Law, to Drive Assist and then to my place that underwrites the policies. Then if you have injury there's a solicitor to report the claim to... It's not as simple as everyone seems to believe. Complete ballache for us too! Albany are the same company as HelpHire by the way. Same address and bank details. As far as that advisory goes, there is the potential for an insurer to knock a bit off for it, but largely if it's only an advisory they wont bother. If you didn't have an MOT at all, expect a 15% cut in the Pre accident value. Hazarding a guess from those GVA figures, I'd suggest you'd be offered around about 1.400-1.600
Spare Tyre For New Fords
Mathrin replied to davemufc's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubWhen I bought my Fiesta, they wanted £95 for a 15" spare wheel...when I have 16" alloys on it.
Fiesta Rear Ended - Is It Likely To Be A Write Off?
Mathrin replied to Jeska48's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubAnything over 66% of the vehicles Pre accident value = Write off. Cosmetic is cat D Salvage is Cat C Breaking for parts is Cat B Burnt husk/physically dangerous to anyone around the vehicle is Cat A. By the sounds of things, I'd suggest it's a Cat D writeoff from what you have said Jeska. 66% is absolute borderline, I write off as Cat D anything from 66-70% of total value unless the indi engi has raised any further problems. Depending on who you insure with, depends which guide is used for your valuation. We use Glasses, and go for mid book with milage and damage adjustments. From what you've said there is likely some PAV adjustment to be made for damage to wheelarch, but likely some to be added for mileage as thats low for a 53 plate car. Avg is roughly 12k per year, anything more and it's deducted. If you have a valuation dispute, get examples of your EXACT car from autotrader, send into insurer and they will look to raise. Atleast thats what we do. You've been had when they say CC needs to be back 7 days after they post the cheque. GTA ABI states that the client must be taken out credit hire no longer than 7 days after the client receives the cheque. Its a right thorn in my side. Who provided the car for you out of interest? Drive Assist/Enterprise/Albany Assistance?

Fall Lawn Care
As the leaves start to fall and the list of outdoor chores grows, don't let the demands of fall lawn care distract you from your lawn. Take advantage of the cooler fall weather, repair the damages of summer and prepare a healthy lawn to face the harsher winter months ahead.
- Even as rain levels return to normal, make sure your grass is still receiving plenty of water. Measure the rainfall and make sure your lawn is getting at least an inch of rain each week.
- Continue to mow as long as your grass is growing. Make sure your mower blades are sharp and return your mower deck to a normal mowing height, around 2 to 2 ½ inches. Cutting the grass a little shorter will prevent it from matting under fallen leaves and snow.
- Try a winterizer fertilizer to encourage strong, rigorous root development and improved soil structure for a healthy-looking lawn in the spring. Bags of fertilizer will provide the recommended application rate. Apply fertilizer with a spreader for even distribution.
- Aerating your lawn in the fall can relieve grass compaction caused by summer traffic. Aerating in September leaves plenty of time for your lawn to recover before winter hits.
- After aerating your lawn, apply a top dressing to encourage denser grass growth and improve the quality of your soil. Spread a thin layer of top dressing over the grass and work it into the ground by raking it in.
- Fall is also a great time to start a new lawn, and you might need one after a rough, dry summer. The cooler temperatures and even mix of sun and rain help to germinate new seeds without the competition of crab grass and other weeds. Be sure to water your new lawn daily during the first few weeks.
Extra time and effort in the yard this fall will be rewarded with a green, healthy lawn come spring.

African American Islam
Herbert Berg
The first Muslims arrived in the American colonies and later in the United States as African slaves. Although a few and noteworthy Muslim American slaves left written records of their lives, Islam was largely extinguished by the white slave owners. Sectarian and racial forms of Islam were introduced into the United States, particularly within urban African American communities, by Ahmadiyya missionaries and the Moorish Science Temple. The rise of the Nation of Islam under Wali Fard Muhammad and Elijah Muhammad and its bifurcation under the latter's son, Warith Deen Mohammed, and Louis Farrakhan deserve special attention, as do the initial appeal of the Nation of Islam's racial formulation of Islam and, decades later, the willingness of most of its members to move to Sunni orthodoxy after Elijah Muhammad's death. The second major, though not entirely separate, strand of Islam in the United States, though often interacting or competing with the first, comes from Muslim immigrants. This group brings unique issues, such as living in a largely Christian society, competing with the Nation of Islam, refuting stereotypes in the media and popular culture, finding a political voice, and coping with post-9/11 Islamophobia, all leading to the consideration of the prospects for a uniquely "American Islam" that reflects U.S. pluralism and (supposed) separation of "church and state."
African Americans and Religion
Sylvester A. Johnson
Beginning with trans-Atlantic slavery, which forced hundreds of thousands of people into what is presently the United States, religion among African Americans consistently featured a complex of efforts toward innovation, preservation, and agential intervention rooted in efforts toward survival against structures of racial domination. Social factors including slavery, black responses to a range of political conflicts, influences of immigration, and the varieties of genealogies that have constituted religious formations among African Americans contributed to the creation of formal Christian denominations, intentional communities of Orisha, and transnational movements of Islam. Also important are the insurgent challenges that African Americans have proffered as a rejoinder to social oppression. But this progressive tendency has been paralleled by sharply conservative religious formations that check any easy generalization of African American religions as being predisposed toward social justice movements. Also important are social sources of autonomous church formation, the role of Black Nationalism, anticolonial forms of religion, and Yoruba revivalism of the mid-20th century.
Agency, Voluntarism, and Predestination in American Religion
Peter J. Thuesen
In the free marketplace of religious ideas that is the United States, Americans have disagreed over many things. The form of church government, the proper way to worship, the extent of the scriptural canon, and the limits of racial and gender inclusion are but a few of the questions on which the nation's majority Christians have erected boundaries among themselves, to say nothing of their differences with non-Christians. Yet an equally important source of denominational divisions has been the nexus of issues surrounding agency (humans' freedom to act as they choose), voluntarism (defined here as the quest for salvation through this-worldly action), and predestination (the otherworldly question of whether God predetermines each person's eternal destiny). Particularly contentious has been the question of predestination, especially the problem of whether God elects persons for salvation conditionally (based on their foreseen faith or merit) or unconditionally (based solely on his inscrutable wisdom). In the 16th and 17th centuries, this debate cut across the Reformation divide, with each position represented among both Catholic and Protestant scholastics. The New England Puritan clergy were the first major bearers of this scholastic tradition, which abounded with paradox and logical distinctions. The intensity of Puritanism's predestinarian psychology generated a widespread anti-Calvinist backlash in the 19th century and contributed to the growth of a number of upstart denominations, including Methodists, Universalists, Restoration Movement "Christians," Mormons, Adventists, and Christian Scientists. Debates over free will and predestination also bred factionalism and even threatened schism in several denominations, including the Congregationalists, Lutherans, Presbyterians, and Baptists. Less frequently, non-Christians weighed in, occasionally embracing the trope of anti-Calvinism as a way to demonstrate their own traditions' compatibility with American freedom. By the early 21st century, though the rise of nondenominational megachurches and an increase in "nones" (people with no religious identification) had weakened the hold of traditional doctrines on many Americans, the tension between voluntarism and predestination remained basic to theism as it has been for millennia.
Alternative Religious Movements and Race in America
Emily Suzanne Clark
Alternative religious movements have played a significant role in American history. There is no easy definition for these types of groups; their ideas and practices vary. One clear commonality, though, is their development on the sociocultural margins. Thus, inherent in alternative religious movements is a critique of dominant culture, and this offers a powerful means of engaging issues of race in America. Other groups, however, choose to echo prevailing racial ideas as a means of making themselves mainstream. The typical narrative of American religious history is white and Protestant, and alternative religious movements have provided both criticism and approval of that story.
While a close look at every alternative religious movement would be impossible, even an abbreviated exploration is revealing. During the antebellum period the question of slavery and the white supremacy that supported it prompted alternative religious movements to ask questions about equality. While many Shakers and Spiritualists recognized value in all, other groups, like the Mormons, encoded contemporary racial assumptions in their early theology. Throughout the 19th and into the 20th century, African Americans and Native Americans criticized white supremacy by offering alternative explanations of humanity's history and destiny. The 1890s Ghost Dance movement envisioned an Indian paradise devoid of whites, and in the early 20th century black alternative movements in northern cities emphasized the religious significance of their blackness. Though these groups criticized the white supremacy surrounding them, others continued to emphasize the superiority of whiteness. In the latter part of the 20th century, many Americans associated racialized alternative religious movements, such as the Nation of Islam, the International Society of Krishna Consciousness, and the Peoples Temple, with fear or brainwashing. In examining how alternative religious movements engage racial assumptions, articulate racial discourse, or create religio-racial identities, a study of these movements illuminates the interplay between religion and culture in American history.
American Foreign Mission Movement, c. 1870–1920s
Tracy Neal Leavelle
The American foreign mission movement at the turn of the 20th century adopted as its watchword "the evangelization of the world in this generation." The rapid expansion of missionary boards and the enthusiasm of volunteers and supporters corresponded with European and US colonial expansion around the world. For many evangelical observers, the opening of the world seemed to offer the greatest opportunity yet to share the gospel with all. "The crisis of missions," as one prominent author put it, required that Christians recognize the spiritual importance of this moment. Divine providence appeared to be removing obstacles to evangelization. Failure to act decisively would be a form of apostasy, an abandonment of responsibility toward God and the world.
Inspired by a revivalistic spirit, women and men joined a growing list of missionary and moral reform organizations. The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions continued the work it had started in the early 19th century. New organizations like the Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions and the World Student Christian Federation created networks that linked Christian evangelists and communities around the world. They published magazines, books, and pamphlets and sent inspectors, organizers, and speakers on tours of the United States and Great Britain and on grand transoceanic voyages. In 1910 the movement celebrated progress and planned for next steps at the World Missionary Conference in Edinburgh, Scotland. Steeped in a sense of moral and racial superiority, attendees promised to transform the world.
Women found an increasingly important place in the US foreign missionary movement, especially as evangelical work diversified to include the establishment of schools and medical missions. American women labored in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and elsewhere and eventually made up the majority of workers in the field. Women brought with them an ideology of domesticity that they hoped to share with their sisters abroad. Women from the US viewed local women in the missions as socially degraded and in desperate need of moral uplift. The moral authority that came with female standing in the home seemed to explain the elevated status and Christian liberty enjoyed by American women. At the same time, as more highly educated single women entered the field, the movement created space for new models of womanhood. These "New Women" lived independent lives out in the world, apart from the confines of the home.
American missionaries at the turn of the century became deeply entangled in the imperial connections of the United States and the world. While it would be a mistake to reduce their work simply to a particular strand of imperialism, it is important to understand their connections to American expansion. Missionaries took advantage of openings created by colonial activity and contributed to the spread of American cultural, political, and economic influence at a critical moment in the development of national power in the international arena.
American Narratives of Sin and Salvation
W. Clark Gilpin
Sin and salvation, as an interconnected pair of ideas, imply that human life as it is ordinarily lived has been diverted from its true good or distorted from its proper form. Taken together, these paired ideas thus imply a narrative of human transformation, a redemptive process that recovers human life from erroneous ways and reorients it toward an ultimate goal or a transcendent power through which life is fulfilled. Narratives of redemption from sin have taken many forms in the course of American history, but in considering any specific example it is useful to recognize its relationship to two especially common patterns. In some cases, the redemptive narrative is organized around a decisive personal experience, and autobiographical accounts of "conversion" that describe such transformative events are common in American religious literature. In other cases, the redemptive narrative accentuates the gradual process of shaping a way of life that incorporates an individual into the ongoing social practice of a community, through spiritual disciplines ranging from meditation and prayer to acts of public witness and compassion. In either of these versions, redemptive narratives frequently hinge on the reconciling work of a transcendent power, in which salvation represents the event or process that incorporates individual persons into a society or a natural order of existence that is itself the subject of a larger, even cosmic history of redemption. In all of these variations, American narratives of redemption have interacted with broader cultural ideas of human nature and the possibilities for human psychological and societal change.
American Protestant Foreign Missions after World War II
David C. Kirkpatrick
After the Second World War, the drama of Protestant missions featured a diversifying cast of characters. Local actors in the Global South, alongside reform-minded missionaries from the North, revised the mission script. At the level of conciliar discourse, this can be seen in perhaps two primary ways: a widened table of leadership and a widening of the Christian mission itself. An increasingly diverse Protestantism shifted the trajectory of missions toward national control and social Christian emphases. Yet, these shifts in method and theology produced strikingly divergent results for mainline Protestantism and Protestant evangelicalism. For the former, the story was largely one of global dissolution, at least institutionally. Organizations such as the World Council of Churches (b. 1948), which represented the soaring hopes of the ecumenical movement, fractured under the pressure of radical student protests, postcolonial resistance, and declining donations from disillusioned churches in the 1960s and 1970s. Seen in a different light, however, mainline Protestant mission was the victim of its own advance, both abroad on so-called mission fields and at home in the United States. In many cases, mission schools directly contributed to the growth of nationalism through their curriculum and educational methods. Backlash against missionary leadership and control often centered around these educational institutions. In the North, while the institutions of mainline Protestant mission have largely declined, their progressive values are widely assumed today within wide swaths of American life in particular—especially within universities, mainstream media, and the Democratic Party.
For Protestant evangelicalism, the mission story is largely one of global diffusion—explosive demographic growth, especially among those practicing Pentecostal forms in the Global South, and a rapid expansion of mission and relief organizations. Within a context of increasing diversity, evangelical mission agencies, rather than sidelining traditional Protestant mission approaches, constructed new forms of evangelical mission and social Christianity. This reshaping of global evangelicalism was the result of a multidirectional conversation often led by Latin Americans. Indeed, an entire generation of theologians, shaped by the global Cold War, rejected the importation of traditional mission methodologies. As Latin Americans shifted to postcolonial social Christianities, they pulled many in global evangelicalism with them. In terms of theological methodology, they synthesized the pursuit of justice with the evangelical offer of personal salvation. While the vast majority of Christians lived in Europe and North America in 1910 (the year of the epochal Edinburgh World Missionary Conference), in 2010 the vast majority of Christians lived in the Global South. Thus, at the level of conciliar discourse, the evangelical table of leadership and theology increasingly reflected its demographic center located within contexts of poverty, injustice, and widespread inequality.
American Religious Empire and the Caribbean
Andrew R. McKee
America has been closely linked to the Caribbean since at least the Age of Revolutions. Across the Atlantic World, revolutions in France, Santo Domingo, and the eastern United States drastically changed interlocked understandings of citizenship, religion, and freedom. From the 19th century onward, imperial views and laws about religions developed from prerevolutionary era roots. The dominant understandings of Caribbean religious history are those of migration, diaspora, syncretism, and diversity. Studying how the American religious empire worked to regulate and control the religious practices in the Caribbean shows how the distinct religions associated with the region—Obeah, Santeria, and Vodou, for example—developed. It is impossible to study the Caribbean without centering on the processes of Anglo-European colonization and the forced migration of enslaved peoples predominantly, but not only, from Africa. Labor and economic concerns underline nearly every Caribbean religious culture that exploded in the region from the colonial period onward.
Apocalypticism in U.S. History
Matthew Avery Sutton
Apocalypticism has had a powerful impact on American life. It has fostered among adherents a strong sense of purpose and personal identity, it has helped them interpret the challenges they face all around them, and it has provided them with a triumphant vision of the future. Although there are many kinds of apocalypticism, in the United States, Christian forms have dominated. The Bible's focus on a coming millennium has offered Americans the promise of transformation and redemption in a world that sometimes seems void of both. When Christians have emphasized the Bible's apocalyptic and millennial visions, they have acted in new and important ways. Apocalyptic visions, rather than fostering a sense of indifference to the coming of the end of days, have served as a call to battle. God, millennialists insist, has given them much to do and very little time in which to do it. Positive that Jesus is coming soon, they have preached revival and engaged directly and aggressively with their culture. Sometimes their actions have served to reinforce the status quo, and at other times they have sparked revolutions. The uses of apocalypticism and millennialism are almost as diverse as their adherents.
Architecture, the Built Environment, and Religion in America
Peter W. Williams
The development of religious architecture in what is now the United States is tied closely to continuing immigration and the development both of de facto and de jure religious pluralism. Prior to the arrival of Europeans, seminomadic Native Americans built temporary structures, while those farther south erected more permanent temples, most notably those of the Aztecs in Mexico. Spanish settlers in what is now the U.S. Sunbelt built mission chapels, with those in California incorporating a mixture of styles and building techniques derived from Spanish, Moorish, and indigenous traditions. Puritans in New England and Quakers in Pennsylvania erected meeting houses, architecturally simple structures based on secular models and eschewing the notion of "sacred space." Anglicans from Boston to Charleston imported English neo-classical models devised by Sir Christopher Wren and Sir James Gibbs in the mother country, devised to accommodate Anglican sacramental worship. Later classical styles, especially the Roman and Greek revivals, reflected the republican ethos of the New Republic and were adopted by a whole range of religious traditions including Catholics and Jews. Urbanization and enhanced immigration following the Civil War saw adaptations by Protestants, including auditoriums, institutional churches, and the Akron Plan; by Jews, who invented a new, eclectic style for synagogues and temples; by Anglicans, who revived English Gothic traditions for churches and cathedrals; and by Roman Catholics, who turned to Continental Gothic for their inspiration. Mormon temples, beginning in Salt Lake City, took on new forms after that faith spread across the nation. During the post-WWII era, the colonial revival style became popular, especially in the South, reflecting patriotic and regional values. Following the immigration reform of 1965, waves of newcomers from Asia and the Middle East brought their traditional mosques and temples, often considerably modified for worship in the diaspora. Religious architecture, like the nation at large, has reflected an ongoing process of change, adapting old forms and inventing new ones to accommodate changing demographics, settlement patterns, and the necessities of living in a pluralistic society where religion is protected but not supported by the government.

Steve, Barry with Chipper, and Mark hide at a rock with an ear ring they can use as a clamp. A giant leaves a message for another--who is shot at and wounded by police. The police get the message and the giant almost gets the three Earth people and the dog, who take refuge under an outcropping of wood, rock, and bush. The giant reaches down for them.
More guards scare off the giant; Mark retrieves his ear ring and they head back to camp. It is night by the time they get back, dousing the fire. Steve orders the fire out, the port shields over the windows closed (to Barry), and the ship lights out. Steve tells Mark to fill the others in when Fitzhugh protests about their dinner. Dan calls from the outpost--police are all over the forest. Barry alerts Capt. Burton about a call from spaceship RFX23, a Capt. Hartman who obliges to take them back to Earth. Giants surround Spindrift but move on searching for another giant. They were very close to the tiny ship but didn't see it. Hartman mistakenly calls Burton, Burke. He tells them his spaceship is at a lightning blasted tree. Dan surprises Mark at the door of the ship; Mark has the razor in case he needed it against something that was making the noise. The others chide Dan about the news and at first he thinks they are fooling around. When Hartman asks for the ship's position to send his crew out to meet them (he wants to take off and land at Hadley Space Center soon), Steve gets suspicious. He puts the man off, telling him they will have to wait. This draws flak from all the others who follow Steve outside. He calmly explains his decision--it could be a trap--Hadley Space Center was closed down a few years ago. Mark suggests asking him questions about earth (baseball and the city of Brotherly Love). Steve won't--it could give giants time to triangulate the signal and track them down. Betty suggests they turn in, "Tomorrow could be a big day." Fitzhugh leaves when he thinks everyone is asleep but he meets Valerie in the woods, "Are you following me? She answers, "You have it all wrong--men follow me." They are going to try to convince Hartman to wait. Steve comes out, putting his jacket on. Betty woke up and found Val gone. Steve stops Val and Fitzhugh from behind; Val tells him, "We meant well, captain." Steve says, "We'll cover that later." Dan is back scouting the area. He watches as the same giant Steve saw with Barry and Mark earlier, drops a pencil holder over the trio. Val and Fitzhugh scream and then they see only blackness.
The giant turns the holder upright. The giant, Gorak, faked Hartman using information gathered from the real Capt. Hartman's spacecraft which crashed near Gorak's home three years ago. Hartman and his crew all died in the crash. A teacher at the university, Gorak's secret quarters are set up in this hidden cave and he puts the trio in a deep wooden crate. Fitzhugh tells him he's always held liars as the most contemptuous of people (he has?). The messenger Steve saw, died in custody before he could be interrogated. The message the police now have is a list of 20 dedicated, decent people who belong to a freedom underground organization, sworn to destroying totalitarian government on the planet. The Secret Police have the letter in a vault in the Security Building. Gorak captures Dan when Dan tries to free the other three, trapping Dan at the crate.
Mark makes light of Dan's order to remain with the ship, scoffing at Betty, "And who's Dan?" He breaks orders and follows. Betty and Barry follow him into the cave against his own order to remain. When he tells them he thought he told them to wait outside, Betty says, "Oh, and since when did following orders mean anything to you." Gorak is gone, allowing Dan and Steve to inspect the vault area via the drain pipe and vent system. They find the outside of the vault has an alarm system that almost touches the floor. Trying to get into the vault vent, they find fallen rocks and boulders blocking it. Gorak allows Fitzhugh down from his satchel to help but they cannot move the obstruction. Steve has an idea to mail a package into the vault. When Gorak asks which of them will be mailed...Steve explains the one with the most experience with combination locks, then looks at Fitzhugh, "How bout it?" Fitzhugh refuses, making comments about being mailed like a common cheese. Later, he is lying in a shoe box ready to be mailed...and making sarcastic comments. In the box with Fitzhugh are matches, his walkie talkie (another of which Steve puts in Gorak's huge fingers), and a razor blade to cut his way out ("also to cut my throat" Fitz comments). Fitzhugh also said, "More paraphernalia...soon there will no room in here left for me." Gorak, in a mailman's uniform, delivers the package (which Fitzhugh told him to mark "fragile"). Gorak carries all the others in his mailbag and deposits them into the vent--they seem to be helping him without his threatening the "hostages" routine. The others begin to unblock the seepage obstruction, working by a giant candle light. Steve sends Barry to check that the package was received by the giant guard. The boy watches in horror as the guard carrying the box--drops it--and it is just caught by one of the vault guards. Barry reports this to Steve. Steve calls Fitzhugh--the drop rendered him unconscious but it looks as if he's dead, tongue out, eyes open!
Gorak is being called by Steve over the walkie talkie but can't answer: a guard is holding a rifle on him. Gorak knocks him out and his calls over Fitzhugh's radio bring the two guards into the vault room where the package now lays. This enables Dan and Steve to slip under the electric eye alarm system and get into the vault room themselves. The guards begin to unwrap Fitzhugh's package just as the con man awakens, dazed but alive. Fitzhugh's box is pushed to the floor by him as Dan and Steve set a fire using the wrappings. The giant guards spot the two pilots and begin searching. Fitzhugh gets out of his box and hides behind mail. A fallen lock box with blocks Dan and Steve from the vent. The two men end up backed into a corner, trapped as the giant guards reach huge hands at them. "We've captured two of them," guard (Patterson) says. Dan says, "Steve!" Steve gasps, "We're trapped!"
Gorak arrives, setting off the alarms, and shooting the two guards with the rifle he took. They also get off a shot which downs Gorak, wounding him fatally. He lives only long enough to shoot off the vault lock box and see the little people burn the incriminating letter and to scatter its ashes. The others are finally able to unplug the drain and together they move the blocking box. The seven of the Earthlings run into the woods. They stop for a breather. Steve tells them Gorak was, "A great man. A giant even among giants." Now early morning, the group walk off.
REVIEW: Prominent 60s guest star John Abbott made this episode worth watching. His formal dignity and stern yet compassionate way made his character real and sympathetic. No small nod should go to Kurt Kasznar who allows Fitzhugh to use many humorous lines without it seeming silly, dominant, or out of context. He is better than usual but is almost always excellent as Fitzhugh anyhow. This episode, if you stretch it, suggests a subtle relationship between Val and Mark--they seem to be with each other more; if you look closely, Betty and Steve were also together more than usual. Clothes wise, under their jackets, Dan and Steve wore short sleeve shirts (Dan--red; Steve-gray). Later on, possibly the second season, Steve would wear a long sleeved gray undershirt (GRAVEYARD OF FOOLS). Lance LeGault, one of the searching giants, would later chase Eric Cord in the FOX series WEREWOLF. Paul Trinka was Patterson in VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA. This episode, more than any other of the early ones, more than hinted at the government of the giants. At least in the country the Spindrift group were stranded in, the government was totalitarian. Some new music was added to the previously used William's and Steven's tunes. One flaw is that Spindrift, while supposed to be camouflaged and having its lights off at night, is fully lit up (at least by the bubble light) while the forest is alive with giant police searching. This episode, THE FLIGHT PLAN, WEIRD WORLD, THE GOLDEN CAGE, and THE CREED end with more pessimism than usual. This one had that depressant, brooding aspect to it--which is fine once in awhile. A few of these endings reminded me of the brooding endings of some of the first season SPACE: 1999's. There is that same aspect of survival with just a twinge of hope left in both shows. Another good argument for having production order viewing is that after the cooperative aide Fitzhugh was in UNDERGROUND, he would never revert to the sly con man of THE WEIRD WORLD---where he would want to leave the others behind on the planet while making an escape to Earth with Kagan, lying to the man. The air order would have us believe he would--UNDERGROUND comes before THE WEIRD WORLD air order-wise. A close up of Gorak's fingers taking the walkie talkie is a full scale giant hand with movable fingers--it does not look like the full hand used in the other episodes.

Large companies typically don't have any idea how much Open Source software they have running on their various systems. This can pose a management and legal problem, so HP has developed software, called FOSSology and FOSSBazaar to help track down errant OSS installs. A Techtarget article notes, "HP gave an example of a recent customer that had three times as many FOSS licenses as originally estimated -- 75 licenses rather than 25. This left customers with a choice: implement governance policies to allow the safe use of FOSS, or replace the software at an estimated cost of $80 million."

Amenorrhea – missed periods
There can be many reasons why a woman might not get her period. For women who are sexually active and in their 20s or 30s, pregnancy is the first thing that pops to mind. If you're in your 40s or 50s, it could be the beginning of the transition leading to menopause, or perimenopause. Whatever the reason, it's important to find out why.
Extreme exercise can be a cause. Did you know that between 5% and 25% of female athletes work out so hard that they stop getting their periods? This is called exercise-induced amenorrhea. I had two friends, both avid runners, who were unable to conceive while they were in training and running marathons. Their intense exercise altered the manufacturing and releasing of reproductive hormones involved in the menstrual cycle. While still remaining active, my friends had to significantly dial back their exercise routines before they were able to have children. But both of them went on to have kids.
Another substantial body stressor that can affect the operation of reproductive hormones is a severely changed eating pattern. Women with eating disorders like anorexia nervosa are greatly altering their hormonal balance by depriving their body of nutrition. This can shut down a normal reproductive cycle.
Women who breastfeed often do not see the return of a normal period for many months. This lack of a period does not necessarily mean you're not ovulating and it is possible to get pregnant during this time.
Medical conditions like problems with your uterus, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid conditions or pituitary gland disorders, or problems with the hypothalamus can cause amenorrhea. Women who are extremely overweight or obese can lose their period.
If you miss your period for an extended period of time and aren't sure why, check into it with your health care provider.
